"Beginning in January, 1973, I was hired by Witcomb USA, who sent me
to England to serve a 7 month work study program at Witcomb
Lightweight Cycles. There I learned the basics. On my return, I
began building racing and touring frames for Witcomb USA in
Connecticut, from late 1973 until it closed in 1977."

"In late '77, I opened J.P. Weigle Cycles, and started to build road
frames on my own, then my first mountain bike in 1982. I
attended several early Fat Tire Festivals in Crested Butte, CO."

"During the late '90's, I went back to my roots and specialized in
traditional road bikes again. Five years ago, I fell in love
with randoneuring bikes."

"Riding bicycles since my childhood, I raced time trials in England,
won CT state road and time trial championships. I raced mountain
bikes in the '80's, and, in 1988, won the National Cyclocross
Championship (senior-35). These days I ride for mental and
physical well-being, and the simple pleasure of the road."
